Two class one veterans, NS 6776 and CSX 4699 sit at the shops for the night. They came in on NS 25N. In the background, ENRHS’s Ex PRR J1 #6163 simmers after a  day of excursions. Next to the shops is NS 9-1-1 which came in on a local and will sit for the weekend. Next up we have NS 8035 coupled to the ENRHS’s new box cars. NS 1061 shares building 2 with Amtrak 663, an hhp-8 heading back to Wilmington after having some work done at Alstom. The link to the previous photo is Steam Locomotive.

Patrick,

Are you sure that is a tank car or a sign for the "business" on the right?

Tom

Tank car. No doubt.

I saw that on a WW2 Jeep forum a while back and gad forgotten about it.

Nope, not mine nor anyone I know (most military vehicle people are too cheap to spend the money on something like that) but it's very cool.

That has to be a single guy as no wife I know would allow it...

As for myself, here's mine, a 1944 Willys MB:

So, from this, you can all tell why the WW2 vehicles on my layout are all marked and equipped correctly for stateside vehicles. Rivet Counting if you will, and I'm proud of it!

Very cool wall grouping. Don't think my wife would like it over her living room sofa but.....

OK back to the game, flat car load

You've got it. The fun police are having another donut 🍩.

Try to follow from cues in the last photo (we nearly all cheat or repeat it's about sharing commonality and maybe some wit anyhow, but if you wait, oportunity will come around for including near any shot )... and try to include some background topics for the next folk to build off of, or be stumped by.  A train wheel with no background doesn't leave much, not even to word play. 

I always thought another added twist might be the commonality as an answer; another guessing game; by listing the photo alone on top, needing full scrolling for seeing the answer as to what was common (we have had runs of multiple commonalities overlapping at times, like a song sung in rounds ). (But sometimes I do get glitched out of adding text following a photo or quotebox anyhow...then again another post is usually possible )

Aaaaanywho...Two generators in use by the military

US Army Green/Camo

As many of you know, any military subject, for me, is too easy to match a photo for...

Note the pre-fab "Marsten matting" on the ground, the steel sections they made airfields and open spaces with. I'm quite proud of how that turned out but no visitor to the layout has noticed it on their own...

Hey Patrick, what did you use to blacken your screens & grills in the back?  I believe I have the same Williams units in Brunswick.
